    " I'm not just a symbol. I can lead not just by wearing a uniform or by cutting a ribbon but by showing people who I am "
    The Crown season 4 was of complete beauty and I was mesmerized by Emma Corrin's Princess Diana.
    I wanted to explore Prince Charles character first and foremost because Josh O'Connor's performance is one of my absolute favorite from the show.
    It is important to state that I made this video in the hopes to show how Charles grew from being a quiet, sympathetic young royal into a self-centered, insecure nightmare of a person. I especially wanted to show why (him being unheard most of his life) it all lead to him directing fury at his wife, Diana who became one of the most famous person in the world and deserved nothing but love from her family in law.
    I hope you enjoy this video and see what I wanted to show. Thank you for watching !

    I think the Crown did him justice. The great thing about this series is that the show creator had laid the groundwork of building up this character in seasons 2 and 3. A timid and ignored child who grew older to become just as timid and ignored, but also in other ways, as well. To seek comfort and strength, he’d found love with Camilla, but this source of joy was stripped from him, too.
    In Season 4, he truly becomes monstrous and emotionally abusive. But with the background of the foundational layers set in Season 3, he is, overall, a deeply complex and flawed character. A bit pathetic. But also to be deeply sympathized with.

      Finally someone who’s absolutely spot on! I’ve read loads and loads of comments recently of people who have just seen season 4 fiercely demonising Prince Charles in a rather manichean (if not childish) way, completely obviating all that complexity that a character involves.

      His actions shouldn't be excused.
      But it's true, he is a victim of his situation.
      He was raised to be a man in constant desperate need of comfort and affirmation. It's the nature of the monarchy structure, and the nature of being raised to be a figurehead, a living statue. Diana fought that ill fate to the bitter end. And when it made her outshine Charles, all sacrifice and suffering he had endured until then was for nothing, because he then had nothing, not even the admiration of his people, and thus has been denied any form of acceptance or purpose. And poor Diana was sucked into it. It's no wonder that Megan didn't want to stick around. They're just shells of people.

      Like in real life. No one inflicts harm deliberately(unless you're a psychopath or something). No one is a villain in their own story. But the biggest villain of all is the royal family. Diana was the biggest victim of all because she was caught in the middle of all that. Had the royal family accepted Camilla, Diana would still be alive today perhaps living a happy life. Most of us wouldn't knoe her probably, but surely she would have been much happier(i hope).

      @@firstnamett4656 well. First. William's wedding to Kate has boosted the royal family's popularity. 2nd. The old tradition of the royal family was of marrying only among royals. But the royal families of europe were all related to each other. King George and Queen Mary changed the rules and allowed their children to marry people who were not royal. Queen Elizabeth's mother wasnt a royal. She was a lady of a minor family in scotland. it is natural for things to change. The monarchy must adapt to its time if it wants to survive. They are no better than anyone. Their position is held by a thread and their legitimacy to hold such powers is honestly not the strongest. So if they appear to see themselves as better than anyone else, the monarchy wont survive much longer. About harry. harry has no prospects of becoming king. For him to continue being a senior member of the royal family is a bit stupid. Plus in 17 years or so when all of william's children come of age, they will be higher ranked than Harry and he will no longer be a senior member. The royal duties will pass to the new generation.

    I do think Prince Charles felt as an outcast in the royal family like Diana, he wasn’t taken seriously and listened to due to his particular personality and sensibility.
    His father arranged him with a 19 years old girl even if he wasn’t sure she was the right choice and was deeply in love with someone else that his parents didn’t like.
    But then when finally he married and gained some attention as the future King, everyone was interested about Diana, an icon, and not him.
    I’m not justifying his behavior but I do think he struggled too and this was one of the few things he had in common with Diana.

    The whole situation of Charles/Camilla/Diana is just desperately sad all round. At least Charles is now with the love of his life, and will have her by his side to support him when he becomes King. Diana was happier and finding her place in the world in her final years. Times have now changed and William and Harry have been able to marry their choice, not who’s “suitable”, and they both seem happy and settled with their wives and children. Our next two monarchs will have consorts who will lovingly support them, and keep the crown steady, which would not have been the case if Charles and Diana had remained married.

The only reason why he wasn’t allowed to marry Camilia was because she was already married and the crown won’t allow a royal member of the family (nonetheless the future king) to marry a divorcée. If only he was allowed to marry camilia, none of this would’ve happened. Diana would probably still be alive with a husband that actually loves her and a more healthy mental state.

    & It was just an arranged marriage with a much younger girl who he did not find anything common between them & clearly madly in love with another woman! Not fairy tale to begin with in any way. And he was never the villian Imo he wanted this marriage to end but Diana & his family instead on keep going on! Just becuase she is stunning, young & full of charm he should love her! Diana had her affairs as well so she was not just waiting for her husband. At least he was and is until now in love with one woman that his royal family did not approve of. I am glad the show write his character as a human being with emotions and feelings. Yes, Diana had a terrible marriage so was Charles… & May I add the video is amazing! Thank you for making it 🙌👌🤍

    This is all on him... he married her to have an heir, make the family happy, knowing he’d have an affair with Camilla the whole time.

Also there are rumours, that Harry is not Charles son, bc Diana also had “some” affairs. She also said, that her wedding was one of her most terrible days.. Why didn't she just cancelled everything days before? She had a chance..she also knew what pre-burdens he had from his family.. EVERYONE in this love triangle played their role completely wrong.. even the queen and the other members of the royal family. (That is my opinion)

    First of all, let's not forget that both Charles and Diana came from emotianally unstable backgrounds. They were "needy" individuals, because they wanted from the other person to be emotianal, very much independent, which neither of them was. Both were vulnerable narcissistic individuals in their own way, because Charles wanted the love of Camilla, and he knew he had it, and public's love, which he never had and Diana wanted to outshine to the public, because she didn't find fhe love and comfort she wanted from her husband. I'm sick and tired of people who only blame Charles for the failure of this marriage, If you look at this marriage closely people like them were mismatched and it was a failure from the beginning. To blame to emotianally problematic people is not the best solution. I prefer to blame the establishment (both of their parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers etc.) who didn't do anything to prevent this disaster!

    I know Diana because of my mother. We have been watching The Crown together. I'm 32 and a semiologist and as a literature grad student, I have to say that according to The Crown: Diana and Charles weren't compatible at all (I mean the characters). They both were delusional. In addition, Diana was living in a fantasy, she got married believing in fairy tales and pushed Charles away due to her neediness and lack of intellectual maturity. On the one hand, Charles was a deep and obscure soul committed with the understanding of his own nture. On the other hand, Diana was an illiterate aristocratic brain with no factual aims, she was just a beautiful tall blonde. I'm pretty sure she would have become crazy or highly promiscuous due to that sense of fragility that any man would take advantage of. The real character with a modern and brave soul was Camila. She married who she wanted, maybe for the wrong reasons. But in the end make her way to be respected for being a human who played her cards properly.

    I think Charles didn't fit in his family, he is so much emotional than them and he only wants to be loved and live a good life. And respect Diana I don't think Charles can show love or affection to someone else if he has never experimented love for himself, so I don't see him as the villain, I think they're both the victims.

      I agree with you. It is unfortunate that more people are not able to see and feel his pain too. He was the victim also.

    This is so tragic and sad that he sacrificed his love to be a King but he never were King and, i think, never will be...

    such a great video! thank you. I think that being part of a royal family it's hard. I feel like nobody of them has control of their lives and this must be terrible. at the end of the day royals are people just like us, they make mistakes, they cry, they fight...I don't like blaming anyone, I think it's a rotten environment in which is hard to live! :)

    Wondrous! Thank you so much 💔
    Everything in place -- especially the music , which underscores the theme of 'Fantasy''........just perfect!
    Many wives accept their husbands' infidelity.......because the men go on being -- at least kind -- to those he promised to care for.....
    I think that the song 'Tolerate It' really says it all 💔

    Fantastic video, thank you. Of all of the actors in The Crown, the ones who really stands out to me is Josh O’Connor, Jared Harris and Claire Foy 👍🏾 Jared Harris’ portrayal of King George VI broke my heart
